Which class is right for me or my child?
We offer free assessments to determine yours or your child’s level.
School holiday learn to swim courses
Holiday swim courses run over five consecutive half days (four if there is a public holiday) from Monday to Friday. Courses may be in the morning or the afternoon. We take enrolments for complete courses only.
If your child is a bit stuck on an element of their swimming, by coming every day for five days they'll normally crack it. Conquer that learning to breathe, breaststroke, or butterfly!
How to book a school holiday course
Contact us using the details on this page, or talk to the Learn to Swim team at the centre. A free assessment may be required to determine your child's level.

Foundations classes
Foundations is three one-hour sessions with the aim of assessing and teaching the key movements that will be performed during 612 classes. Even if you have trained in a high intensity environment before, or have an Olympic weightlifting or gymnastics background, we still advise you complete our three one-on-one foundation sessions.
- Session One: Gymnastics — pull ups, push ups, handstands and more!
- Session Two: Clean and Jerk — moving weight from point A to point B as effectively as possible; the first experience of your Olympic Weightlifting journey.
- Session Three: Snatch and Review — Olympic Weightlifting and reviewing previous sessions.
Foundations is included as part of your Generation 612 membership.
Open box
Open box is free time before class, where members of 612 can come in and practice any movement they wish (gymnastics or Olympic lifting) with the supervision and help of a coach.
Outside the box
Every fortnight on a Friday we are in the pools for a swimming WOD (workout of the day)!
Membership
$30 per week gives you unlimited access to all Generation 612 classes and open box, as well as to West Wave’s pools, gym, fitness classes, saunas and spas.
Generation 612 membership also provides access to all our Gold, Silver and Bronze centres!
